I Died

The day I died is a day I will never forget

There was nothing but emptiness and what seemed like utter despair

It seemed to envelop me like a black cloud unable to see or breathe

No one knows how they will die or if they will ever get to live again

I did not know what to do as all I saw was the blackness around me

The day I died was the day a new person became born and took my place

Time seemed to stand still until one unexpected moment, one unexpected day

Something was off in the distance; I had to blink twice to make sure it was there

Could this be a small spec of light, the first light of my new birth, my new life

Yes it is, it brings forth a small ray of hope, a glimmer of anticipation for what lies ahead

As the days go by the light doesn’t seem to get bigger as it is growing ever so slowly

Then one day I notice the light has become bigger as it is no longer a small spec but rather a guiding light to take me on my new path, my new life

I start to feel alive again and like this life is worth living

The days go by and I have setbacks, but they become fewer and farther apart

The light is now brilliant and truly magnificent

It can be exactly what one needs in their life if they are willing to follow it
